Sugar-Free Agar (SFA)

Sugar-Free Agar for the enumeration of contaminants in dairy products is a carbohydrate-free medium used for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms that do not undergo specific fermentation processes during the preparation of dairy products. The result of the enumeration furnishes an indication of the level of contamination of the sample tested.

This media is recommended for the enumeration of contaminating microorganisms in butter, fermented milk and fresh cheeses.
The typical composition responds to that defined in the standard ISO 13559.
